Landmine Marathon

Easily top 5 sets of music I've seen in 2005, so far. This six piece brought their density-bondage from Phoenix, AZ. At the time I originally saw them they were vox/bass/drum/gtr/gtr/gtr. They've since narrowed the lineup to merely 2 guitars. While some of you are saying, "Two guitars is fine, I mean, dude?...." Shut up! Just shut the fuck up. It was fucking increadible! I've no doubt that it'll slay. That's not what this argument is about. This is one of those fundamental 3 vs 2 things. I'm totally pro 3, mostly because 3 guitarists is so difficult to pull off that when the band does pull it off you sit there, drool coming out of your ears, and you know you just got plowed! Juno pulled it off. Okay, so back to the really important part about Landmine Marathon... everyone in the band is doing their frickin' job?! You'd think 1 of the 6 would have their shit turned down a little? WRONG!!!! It's so fucking loud that it dominates you senses. You are focused on the power. This band delivers, 100%. I changed my next days plans after seeing these guys that night. None of these pictures capture what I saw that night. If possible, I will be going to AZ to photograph them again. Remember their name. You'll be hearing it in the future.

Wow, I was so excited to see this band back in 2005. Well, 5 years later and the line-up is a little different, but the POWER is even better. This band slays. So brutal. I was so very please to see them in a small venue like Kimo's. I love Grindcore. I really do.
